问题     Marriage is, for many people, their most important relationship, the source of much happiness, and, for some, even adds extra years to their life. While the【C1】________between marriage and well-being has been【C2】________studied, predicting marital success is【C3】________. Exactly which people are likely to make successful【C4】________and what can they do to【C5】________the odds of being successful and happy in mariage?
    "The state of marriage is that it’s going in two directions. For people with a college degree, marriage is still going【C6】________However, Cherlin explains, "for people with less【C7】________, there’s less marriage and more break-ups." Happy marriage【C8】________are much less common in such households.
    Another predictor of successful marriages is the quality of a【C9】________childhood relation-ship with their parents. "The kind of relation-ships you have with your parents【C10】________up are predictive of marital quality in【C11】________Umberson says.
    Finally, there is a chicken-and-egg【C12】________to successful marriages. "People who are married are【C13】________than people who aren’t. The question is how much of this is【C14】________and how much is effect?" While natural selection【C15】________has an impact here, Cherlin says, "people who are【C16】________happy are more likely to get married, but marriage makes them even healthier."
    The【C17】________to good marriages is similar in Umberson’s view. "I think it’s the presence of emotional support, and that the person you’re with does make you feel emotionally supported," she says.【C18】________, "If your partner is【C19】________and demanding" all the time, those "are just red flags" in terms of marital happiness. And in terms of【C20】________, she notes, "marital strain is worse for your health than marital happiness is good for your health."  
【C5】

选项 A、emphasize
B、provide
C、increase
D、decrease

答案C

解析 本句和前句是并列的语义关系,意为:人们要怎么做_______婚姻中成功和幸福的几率?前句和本句的successful前后对应,语义中均含“要成功”的意思.因此本句的意思应为增加成功的几率,increase“增加”符合此处语义,故选C。A项emphasize意为“强调”,原文并无相关线索。婚姻中成功和幸福的几率是客观存在,并不需要提供.故排除B项provide。and提示此处的句意应和前句的句意并列,前句说的是婚姻中的人们要成功.那么本句就应该是要增加成功的几率.而非减少,故排除D项decrease。
